Translating Knowledge To The Bedside Through Research Medical research drives innovation in technology, treatments and processes. Research is a top priority of the Department of Internal Medicine. Currently ranked fortieth based on the most recent figures on National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, the Department’s goal is to move into the top thirty Departments of Internal Medicine. This year total extramural research funding was $24 million. Of this, nearly $16 million was NIH funding, with $4.2 million from founda-tions and other sources, and $3.7 million from industry. The Department is actively seeking to increase extramural research fund-ing from multiple fronts. This includes actively pursuing a Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the NIH, for which applica-tions are due in October 2007. Research relies on intellectual capital. Department faculty members play vital roles in major interdisciplinary research programs at Wake Forest, including the Center for Human Genomics, J. Paul Sticht Center on Aging and Rehabilitation, the WFU Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Diabetes Research Center, the Section on Molecular Medicine, and the General Clinical Research Center. | What is a clinical trial?
